An eastern Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is along 35w/36w south
of 16n moving west 15 kt. It barely shows up in the visible
satellite imagery. Scattered moderate showers to isolated strong
thunderstorms from 7n to 11n between 30w and 40w in the ITCZ.
A central Caribbean tropical wave is along 70w/71w south of 19n
moving west 15 kt. The most pronounced part of the wave is
associated with a surface trough N of Puerto Rico which has
split off from the main axis. It is along 20n69w 24n66w 26n61w
moving northwest. This wave is not associated with any deep
convective activity. It is moving through an area of middle to
upper level northeasterly flow.
A western Caribbean Sea tropical wave is along 81w/82w south of
15n moving west 10 to 15 kt. The wave is embedded in broad
southerly surface to low level flow feeding into Hurricane Wilma
and thus it does not have a distinguishable signature. Lines of
showers have been developing west of 78w...with some showers
dying and other ones replacing them. This precipitation may be
more related to Wilma than to this wave.
...ITCZ...
ITCZ 8n11w 10n34w 10n38w 9n44w 10n50w 13n59w. Scattered moderate
showers to isolated strong thunderstorms from 7n to 11n between
30w and 40w...and from 10n to 16n between 55w and 60w. Isolated
to widely scattered moderate/locally strong showers and
thunderstorms are within 50 to 100 nm on either side of axis
between 40w and 54w.
